Escursion Details

From the strating point we follow one trail that winds through a spectacular stretch of pine forest before entering the unique birch forest and the famous Sartorius Craters included in the Unesco World Heritage. Our Mountain bike trip on the second stage reaches a famous volcanic cave; a guide will explain the geology and the exciting story of this cave. On the third stage, we will ride through some single trails through the lava desert. Some short stretches are technical but do not worry; you can get off the Mtb and push it for a few hundred meters. The fourth part of our spectacular excursion will take us downhill to discover Mount etna's massive eruption of 2002. The view from here on the Mediterranean sea, the Alcantara valley, and the summit crater is one of the best you will see during your holiday in Italy. Our Mount Etna Bike tour end in a beautiful Mountain Chalet where you can grab something to eat, refresh and relax before heading back to your hotel.

Questions and Answers

How Should I Dress For This Bike Tour?

Ideally, cycling trousers will help you but they are not essential, just have comfortable, sporty clothes. If you do the tour between September and April I recommend a windbreaker and a sweatshirt.
